If it's bogging at wide open the jet is too large, you'll need to check your plug color to see how the mixture is. The darker the porcelain the richer your mixture is, not talking about oil to fuel ratio, air to fuel ratio. Try this, remove the muffler end cap and do a test run if you can withstand the sound, if it runs better without the end cap the jet is too large. Without the end cap some of the raw fuel will be purged from the cylinder which will lean the air to fuel ratio.

Pipe geometry and primary header length play a big part as well. I hit a wall at 6500 rpm than it can break through eventually and run to 8600 and beyond but it is not what I want...

Probably just running rich. Move the needle clip to the top and if it’s better than than on the bottom then get another smaller main jet like a 65 and try.

First is this a new engine? How many miles ? If it’s new I wouldn’t worry about it, if it will run 25-30 you need to put some time in riding till it’s broken in, after it loosens up the tuning needed could change.

It may be time to buy a few jets and see if you can get it better, I’ve never bought jets so I’m no help, I solder and drill mine. Larry suggested a #65, that may help. It’s funny that jet number related to opening size is backwards from drill bits, confusing to all.
